Cybil·la
Baal
A queer, cybernetic science fiction story inspired by the myth of the Sibyl and the speculative fables of Donna Haraway. The Sibyl is a prophetess from Greek and Roman mythology who, as such, knows the future. The Catholic Church assimilated the character of the Sibyl. Even today, in the churches of Mallorca, the Cant de la Sibila, a medieval piece announcing the arrival of Judgment Day, is still performed.
Cybil·la is a cyborg that pushes the human body to explore physical and biological limits. A fable about the possibilities of connecting, updating, or mutating in relation to the machine-human-animal trinity. She is an evolved being capable of traveling between past, present, and future with a clear message: the end of the world and salvation for those who can dance and love.

Baal
Baal works on the hybridization of languages ranging from contemporary dance, dance-theater, performance, and technology to create performing arts/live arts projects, mostly aimed at children and youth, that can take place in theaters and schools as well as in unconventional or museum spaces.
This “dance company” was founded by Catalina Carrasco and Gaspar Morey in 2013 in Mallorca, Balearic Islands. Its focus is primarily on creation through research and experimentation, but also on fostering social, community, and educational projects.
